The Race for
Money.
The alarming disease of this country
is nervous debility and prostratiOn. L
goes under many names, but it is essen
italy the same complaint. Hospitals
and private Institutions for ne vous pa
tients are crowded. The average of life
in the United States is decreasing every
year Sudden deaths from nervous col
lapse among our business, professional
and public men are SO frequent as scarce
lyto excite remark. The majority of sui
cIdes, committed without apparent rea-
son, or under so-calIed depression of
spirits" are really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is fruitful source of
insanity and crime with all their grief
and horror.
:. These facts are startling. They threaten
the very life Of the nation. They assaiI
the springs of its power and prosperity.
They wreck manhood's strength and
WOmRn's usefulness and beauty.
Every one should know the causes.
What are they! The answer IS easy and
terribly plain; Our vicious personal hab-
its; our careless and IawIess eating and
drinking; the intense mental and physical
strain arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence; the fears
and struggles of poverty; the use of mar
cotics and stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and night into
day; and, briefly, our desperate willing
ness to pay any price for an hours pleas
ure or success. So we burn HES candle
at both ends and fill the lunatic asgluns
and graveyards. Ne -
The disease from which We suffer and
die is, in plain English, Nervous Dyspep-
SO, as it is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assimilation
and Nutsstion. Healthy digestion being

nerves included-izss literally starred; |
even when there is no enseiation to tell
the sad story
Nervous prQstratiOn sends out its
warnings:=hes5sehe in the morning, a
persistent dull hesTiness or aching at the
base of 3fhe brain; wakefuIness; loss of
appetite sa disgust with food; loss of
mental energy. and interest in ordinary
duties and business; restlessness and
anxiesz without any sssignable reason;
eructations; bad breath; foul mucous on
the teeth; occasional giddiness; pslpita
ton of the heart, saHowness of the skin;
coated tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition
The remedy is a total abandonment of
the habits and customs which cause the
disease in each individual case, and the
use of Shaker Extract Of Roots (Seigel's
Syrup to cure the mischief already done
This great remedy, prepared by the Shaz-
er Community of Mt. Lebanon, n. Y, is
especially adapted to eradicate Nervous
Dyspepsia. To do this 1t acts directly
and gently but powerfully upon the dis
ordered stomach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, promoting the
of bile, expelIing waste matters
from the system and purifying the blood.
Upon the nervous system Shaker En-
tract (Seigel's Syrup acts as a safe and
wholesome anodyne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves the nerves
to regain their natural tone and strength {
through its wonderful influence upon the !
function of nutrition.
1t is safe to say more nervous dyspep- !
tics have been res tored oy it from the |
depths of misery to fresh enjoyment !
of life and labor than by any or all other
forms of treatment combined. t
